dynatrace process applications monitoring

What is a Dynatrace process?

Dynatrace Process is a comprehensive performance monitoring and management solution that provides insights into the behavior and performance of software processes in complex IT environments. It allows organizations to gain real-time visibility into the entire process landscape and proactively optimize application performance.

While the Dynatrace user interface is excellent and offers interesting features, the integration into ServicePilot of the Dynatrace Process package allows for true correlation of processes with the underlying infrastructure (storage, networks, ...) as well as both automatic and customizable mappings/topologies. The use of the ServicePilot interface in hypervisor mode also offers numerous data analytics interfaces with dashboards, flexible custom queries, PDF reports, simple and complex alerts, among others.

How to monitor a Dynatrace process?

ServicePilot makes it easy to monitor a Dynatrace process requiring only the installation of a ServicePilot Agent along with minimal configuration on the target server. A resource of the appmon-dynatrace-process package then needs to be added via the ServicePilot web interface.

This gathers per Dynatrace-process statistics including:

• CPU utilization
• Memory usage
• Process counts
• CPU suspension times for Garbage collection

How to install a dynatrace-process resource?

1. Use your ServicePilot OnPremise installation or a SaaS account.
2. Add a new dynatrace-process resource via the web interface (/prmviews or /prmresources) or via API (/prmpackages page), the default ServicePilot agent or another agent will be provisioned automatically.

Details of the dynatrace-process package are located in the /prmpackages page of the software.
